The Best Valentines Day Ever...

Let’s cut to the chase, the big V-day’s around the corner and according to the world defined by mass-marketers, the mainstream media and Martha Stewart, if you don’t have someone to spend tons of money on and give ‘em a card, with sentiments you don’t mean, then you aint’ got it right…

Wrong! The best valentine day celebrations I had was when I was single. Oh yeah! No more pressure on spending $40 bucks on long stemmed roses which the lady takes as a given. So, everyone, in my infinite wisdom here are some cool tips on how to weather the Valentine Day BS , whether you’re single or attached (painful word)

Hangin’ out with friends :

Valentine’s Day is meant to be about love, and is not necessarily just for couples. It can be just as rewarding to get a gang of single friends together for an enjoyable dinner. Perhaps even more pleasing to do so with good friends, except for the fact that you won’t be having sex as the night comes to an end…unless of course, you have some ‘really good’ friends (with benefits).

Realizing that you’re single cos it’s cool :

People are single for all different reasons: whether you just don’t want a relationship, you have lost a significant other or there is no one you can see yourself dating at the moment. Whatever the reason is for you being available, just roll with it and have fun. You’ll be on spring break in a month or so anyway, and no one wants to be in a relationship while you’re surrounded by hot guys or gals having a fun time.

Self-awareness (Knowing yourself as defined by you and not the media) :

Somewhere some marketing cat decided that St. Valentine was this dude who professed some ’love’ – duh wazaat? For someone and decided that he could make money by branding a day with the dude’s name. the Result – you got all these diamond stores shoving rocks down your throat (yeah, it’s a great feeling to give a loved one a diamond that came from blood money in Africa) Watch the movie,’ Blood diamond’ instead – get more informed and realized that like the Beatles said “money really cannot by you love’ If someone loves you for what you are, you’ll know.

Also, if you’re a dude just think about how much money you save on jewelry, flowers, candy, and not to mention all the stupid crap that sings or says “I Love You!” And if you are a chica, you won’t have to feel bad about throwing out all that dumb shit that you received from your man.

No self-pity. Period :

Speaking of dumb shit…you might be one of those people who are continuously searching for a girlfriend/boyfriend, and I really hope you aren’t. To do this would be a waste of time, especially if you’re a student. Worry more about your degree rather than a relationship, which probably won’t last too long anyway considering you are obviously desperate and want to date someone just for the fact of “dating someone.” It’s not like the love of your life is playing hide and seek with you, so you shouldn’t be looking.

Also, think of the financial savings : typically, most dumb couples spend at least $200 or more on themselves on this day. Take $200, put it in a Roth IRA every Valentine’s day and when you turn 60, you’ll see that you now have more that $40 Grand in your account. Gee, how did that happen? Well, it’s cos you were smart.

Finally, Be Cool :

Relationships just happen, so if this year you happen to be single and are still unhappy about the whole situation, there are still 365 more days to bump into your potential soul-mate before the next Valentine’s Day. In the meantime focus on the more important things, like yourself and your career. Who knows? Maybe you’ll fall into a relationship or get rich, buy yourself a new face and get anyone you want!

I would appreciate any great ideas as to where to take them who is putting on an event. I would love the phrase "What can I say, I love you and may you someday find that true love you're looking for".
